Anybody attending this week’s #BlogHer15: Experts Among Us Conference in New York City may see something awfully familiar on the exhibition floor!

A few weeks ago, I went as part of the Ink & Sword team to be vendors at CatCon on Los Angeles. We sold our beloved Pet Care PSA Art Prints plus a large selection of Severed Things Catnip Toys and Handmade Cat Dolls to oodles of great folks! The event featured Simon Tofield of […]

Hooray for Bust Magazine! Not only do they throw a mean craft faire, but they were lovely enough to post a feature about me on their website today! I talked to Melissa Thornton about crafting, how I create, how I got started and the inspirations around me. It also reminds me that there are only […]

It’s only 25 more days until one of my favorite events of the year, the World Maker Faire! “Part science fair, part county fair, and part something entirely new, Maker Faire is an all-ages gathering of tech enthusiasts, crafters, educators, tinkerers, hobbyists, engineers, science clubs, authors, artists, students, and commercial exhibitors.

We didn’t have much time, so we crammed a few projects into one short afternoon, with varying degrees of success…I don’t know if we will be trying the pipe-cleaner snowflake again! I decided to create a Felt Partridge ornament this time. I did […]

Last Thursday, I lead a Make-It Thursday workshop at the American Folk Art Museum. We gathered for wine, creativity and conversation as we made the Ruffled Felt Wreaths that I love making for friends this time of year. Here are some photos of the wonderful evening. Thank you to Rachel and The American Folk Art […]

A new severed leg toy has arrived in the shops today, and this one is quite a tall order…tasty giraffe legs for your little lion! I have been wanting to make giraffe legs for quite a while, and I am very pleased with these extra-long tasty tiger treats. Super cute at 6 1/2 inches tall, […]

With memories of last year’s mega successful Christmas Craft Smackdown! floating through my head, I rearranged the tables again this past weekend and invited some folks over for Crafternoon Number Two: The Autumn Craft Smackdown. This time around, the theme was “Puppets and Marionettes”. Some of us really enjoy puppet theatre and always wanted to […]
